The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adeboye, has said that Nigeria’s next president ahead of the 2027 general elections has already been determined by God.
Speaking during a workers’ meeting at Redemption City along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Saturday, Adeboye said the outcome of the election is beyond human control, stressing that divine will will ultimately prevail.
“The next president has already been decided by God who owns the universe. It is not something we can determine by human effort alone. The will of God will be done,” he said.
He urged Nigerians not to be anxious about political developments, adding that God remains sovereign over the nation’s future.
“I never said we should not be involved in politics, but we must understand that God has the final say in the affairs of men,” he said.
Adeboye also encouraged citizens to remain prayerful and peaceful as political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 elections.
“We should do our part, but we should also keep on praying and trust God. That is what is satisfying to me,” he added.
The cleric also responded to comments credited to Christian leader Isaac Omolehin, who described him, Bishop David Oyedepo, and Pastor William Kumuyi as “fathers of Christians in Nigeria.”

Adeboye dismissed the label, saying he does not see himself as a father to all Christians in the country.
“He said that we are not the fathers of Christians but we are denominational fathers. He is very correct. I don’t want to be father of all Christians in Nigeria. I’m satisfied with being the father of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. That’s enough assignment for me.
“I have never wanted to be the father of all Christians in Nigeria. The CAN President is the father leader of Christians in Nigeria.”
He also addressed claims on social media alleging that RCCG is linked to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), rejecting the allegation.
Adeboye added that the church has spoken on national issues affecting citizens, including economic hardship, and insisted it remains non-partisan.
He further stated that if the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) calls for a peaceful protest over governance issues, he would participate, stressing that his stance is based on principle.
“I have protested before during the Goodluck Jonathan administration,” he said.
The cleric also noted that politicians are welcome at church programmes but would not be allowed to use the altar for campaigning.
